Skill Bom

...my table is cleaned, so I can start the next project.

I had mentioned that I would like to do the the Skill BOM that Alyssa of Pile O Fabric posted last year.
I like that she not only gives you the instructions for the blocks but also how to quilt them and since I need to practice my machine quilting this is perfect...it takes the pressure off of me to decide "How should I quilt that block"...and machine quilting a 16" block is doable on a home sewing machine.

Every month I am to sew 2 blocks & quilt them ( this is a Quilt-as-you-go- method)
....I will use Omas White on White sheets as the background and these fabrics from my stash....This should also be a stash buster project !

My first two block are sewn....

this is Sound Wave.....

This is Magnum Block....

I am not sure yet if the blocks will be turned into a quilt or just a learning book. I am doing this more for the machine quilting aspect then for creating a quilt...but who knows ??

Is there anyone out there that would like to join me in this learning process ??

I have put a link to the Skill BOM on my side bar so you can find the blocks quickly.
